SOFTWARE WE USED
Business Needs
The pepco substation project was subcontracted by Black and Veatch to Tejjy with the following project requirements:
- Laser scanning of the facility
- Transitioning point cloud data into MicroStation
- As-built modelling of the facility
- Develop HVAC design with permitting for regulatory compliance.
Challenges
This was quite a complex as-built modeling and designing requirement, and Tejjy’s scan to BIM plus design team was presented with the following challenges:
- Data transfer between systems necessitates intricate coordination.
- An HVAC design that complies with site-specific criteria is required.
- Safety against arc flash accidents, which endanger workers and equipment, must be given top priority in substation design.
- Outdated Workflows and Technology in the Era of Smart Grids and On-Site Energy Generation.
- Insufficient planning, site evaluation, and equipment sizing.
- Instrumentation equipment, switchgear, and both high and low voltage equipment are particularly vulnerable to dust and extreme heat.

Our Solutions & Approach
For a resolution on the above-mentioned problems, Tejjy utilised its experience of utilities design with the following approaches:
- Leica’s RTC 360 was being utilised for laser scanning to capture precise and accurate on-site facility data.
- Convert point cloud data into MicroStation for assisted design intelligence on further modelling out the acquired data.
- Devising a codes-compliant and optimised HVAC design and permitting documentation process for resolution on the problems stated.
Business Impact
With our scan-to-model efforts, Black and Veatch was able to fulfil the client’s requirements with the following:
- Enhanced project accuracy with minimised errors and delays.
- Regulatory-compliant solutions improving reliability and client trust.
